Heat Tape and Rack

The problem with the snaked system is it is such a huge under taking to disinfect! Doing it all again I would run each shelf separate, and each strip plugged individually into a custom cord with female receptacles for each level. it would allow each strip to be powered down on empties and for cleaning. It would be possible to clean a few shelves and finish the rest later. Rather than all at once.

If the whole rack is one strip, I would notice right away that it wasn't working.

For smaller racks, we would use smaller sections. I'm not going to "snake it" regardless.
